Scarring recessions and credit constraints : evidence from Colombian firm dynamics

Using a rich dataset of Colombian manufacturing establishments, we illustrate scarring effects of recessions operating through inefficient exit induced by heterogeneous credit constraints. We show that financially constrained businesses may be forced to exit the market during recessions even if they...

We show that financially constrained businesses may be forced to exit the market during recessions even if they are more productive than surviving unconstrained counterparts: an unconstrained plant with TFP at the lowest 10th percentile faces the same estimated exit probability as a constrained plant with TFP at the 79th percentile. If credit constraints affect 1/3 of businesses, we estimate aggregate TFP losses of 1.2 log points after a four year long recession.Este paper ilustra cicatrices de largo plazo de las recesiones, derivadas de la pérdida ineficiente de firmas relativamente productivas como efecto de imperfecciones en el mercado crediticio. En particular, en un ambiente con heterogeneidad en el acceso a crédito mostramos que las firmas con menor acceso a crédito pueden verse forzadas a abandonar el mercado aún si son más productivas que otras firmas con mejor acceso a crédito que sí logran sobrevivir, y que este fenómeno es significativo en recesiones. Una cuantificación de los efectos de este mecanismo sobre la productividad agregada muestra pérdidas potencialmente cuantiosas. Suponiendo que 1/3 de establecimientos en la Encuestas Anual Manufacturera de Colombia enfrenta restricciones crediticias, encontramos que un establecimiento restringido en el percentil 10 de productividad tiene la misma probabilidad de salida que uno sin restricciones crediticias en el percentil 79 de productividad. Luego de cuatro años de recesión como la vivida al final del siglo XX en Colombia, el mecanismo implicaría pérdidas de productividad de 1.2 puntos logarítmicos.41 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 27 Septiembre de 2010https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/007711.htmlScarring recessions and credit constraints : evidence from Colombian firm dynamicsRecesiones que dejan huella : el papel de las restricciones crediticiasDocumento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPPlant exitCredit constraintsBusiness cyclesRecessionsCiclos económicosRecesionesG14, E 32, L25, O4Facultad de EconomíaPublicationTEXTdcede2010-27.pdf.txtdcede2010-27.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain82069https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/16184f5a-57b5-41b2-a4f7-4517d476d1b3/downloadff37cdce45529f52f75830ef7302038cMD54ORIGINALdcede2010-27.pdfdcede2010-27.pdfapplication/pdf728428https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/ba152009-6a76-44c1-9707-4e99e1f674ae/download5622136f6f4f4abb483e6c403a5adab1MD51THUMBNAILdcede2010-27.pdf.jpgdcede2010-27.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg3361https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/0e3569c8-6222-4229-8ca2-7e169698c4a0/downloadb478aafaf7b0f08730229df8aa09cf8cMD551992/8205oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/82052024-06-04 15:14:19.93http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co
